Overall, Pega is an ideal solution for organizations with complex needs and deep data sets that need to stay in touch with their constituents or customers. The beauty of Pega is the flexibility of the platform. I'm happy to say we have ZERO custom code and even though we're not quite live, we have already gone through an upgrade with ZERO problems with compatibility.

Pros

For a mid-sized nonprofit, Pega is a lifesaver. Sure, Microsoft Dynamics and SalesForce Cloud provide key CRM functionality at a reasonable price -- but both require significant and ongoing investments in consulting time, something that is tough for nonprofits to budget for. With Pega CRM, we are able to gain an enterprise-scale CRM solution PLUS a business process automation tool that can (eventually) be administered internally.

Cons

Our implementation partner, Serendebyte, was not ideal. We had multiple challenges with attempting to get them to complete the agreed-upon scope. Word to the wise, no matter what the sales team says, take the time to bring your implementation team onsite before you agree to use them. Don't even trust a phone call! We didn't get the same team we talked to in the partner interview, and it showed.

- I enjoy using PEGA CRM, very efficient, fast, rarely crashes and allows me to give a customer a great customer service experience over the phone

Pros

- Rarely crashed and was very efficient in processing customer credit card requests. Took me only 1 day to be comfortable with software, was used to handle maintenance and changes of credit card accounts for TD Canada Trust bank.

Cons

- Certain processes for a customer couldn't be done in PEGA and another software had to be used (for example removing an overlimit block on customer credit card). Would be improved if all processes can be done through PEGA software.

Pros

There are deep cases where a product like Pega would thrive. However, increasingly these feel like edge cases as the market is very mature now.

Works very well with legacy data and can be fairly easily customized for a specific client interaction type.

Cons

It is easily the hardest application to work with that I have ever supported. Pega itself provides little insight into changes and things like secure connections to email servers. Everything is an extra cost, every feature requires custom development. It was pitched as a turnkey solution but has been anything but
